Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in SPALDING, PE11 4PY. The property offers 166m² (1787 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (25/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £3046, comprising £2470 for heating, £431 for hot water, and £145 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2022 for £315,000.
